Red Bull Racing drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez have answered several questions, not all of which are directly related to motorsport†
Q: What kind of driver are you outside of the tracks?
Sergio Perez: I have to admit that I drive very slowly, especially when I’m stuck in a traffic jam. But if there is an opportunity to drive faster, I am always willing to take advantage of it!
Max Verstappen: In my opinion, everyone always expects racers to even get behind the wheel of regular cars and do all kinds of stupid things. In fact, since we’re racing all season, when we get home we just want to calmly go from point A to point B, and that’s it.
Q: How does the team help you improve your racing skills?
Max Verstappen: I believe that when you collaborate with the specialists around you, the process of professional growth continues continuously. Because you always end up in different situations during the race, you become more experienced.
Of course, this is not such an easy and fast process, because there are always some malfunctions, you have to face problems. But you are constantly learning, and eventually mistakes are necessary, as well as all kinds of difficulties, because overcoming them makes you a better person.
Sergio Perez: My first season with Red Bull Racing was not easy, but the team supported me, everyone helped me. On the one hand they asked a lot of me, on the other hand they provided everything necessary to reach a new level.
Q: What can you advise the fans on how to work on themselves to reach this level?
Max Verstappen: You just have to try to get better gradually, move forward step by step. For example, in my case, there isn’t a single aspect of the job that I think I could do much better. It’s important to just keep studying constantly, keep the right posture, be focused on such studies, because when you stand still, you basically just roll back.
While studying, it is very important to pay attention to small things, to try to get at least a little better in different areas.
Sergio Perez: I think the most important aspect is stability. We must strive for it because it allows you to reach the next level.
